relaxing town”

breakfast included, free wifi, relaxing environment

Husavik is a small town in Iceland so the accommodation choices of here is limited. However, it worth you stay a night to relax after watching whale. Here you can find friendly host and nice breakfast in the morning! Which is quite impressive to me.

Worthy, great location, friendly helpful staffs”

Location, Free Beer, Value

I was a female solo traveller with a big big suit case. Friendly staffs are helpful for tours. Great Location (actually Akureyri is a very small town!), there is a hot dog cafe right in the corner. the bad thing is that the bathroom in their basement... that was quite tired when I return to hostel from a northern light tour. very clean room, and bathroom.
